After a successful interview process I was offered (via recruiter) the position, this was followed up at a later date buy a question about the starting date, I agreed to it. Subsequent to that the offer was retracted, quoting ‘over hiring and budgetary constraints’.
I have all emails regarding the time line from application to acceptance and up until the retraction.
I intend to go at them for ‘breach of contract’ and specifically ‘unfair dismissal’ if I have to go further.
It was for a Senior IT position which normally requires 2 months notice in my industry and the company website state new starters are given company equity inline with their starting salary.
The Salary was agreed at £60k
I am therefore asking for £10k plus Equity as severance and will happily negotiate to less as my main interest is holding them to account.
Am I right to do this, Is it worth doing, I am happy to go to Acas, and to Tribunal.
